I think 2012 was really a breakout year for web series and original programming online. Hulu is one spot that keeps getting better, and this week it announced a bunch of cool-looking new series.

First there's The Awesomes, an animated comedy from Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers and Michael Shoemaker. The show follows "what happens after all the most powerful members (of a superhero team) leave," and it features guest voices from Bill Hader, Kenan Thompson and others. Fun!

There's also "mascot docu-series" Behind the Mask, which tells the offbeat real-life stories of sports mascots.

I think my fave of the bunch, though, is The Wrong Mans, a comedy/thriller from Tony winner/former Gavin and Stacey star James Corden. In that one, Corden and co-creator Matthew Baynton play two guys who become embroiled in a mystery after answering a stranger's phone.

You can watch trailers for all of the series now on Hulu.com, though they won't debut until summer. (Boo!) Learn more about them and other shows via BusinessWire.
